An openly left-wing beer company told its customers to hit people over the head with bricks before whining about receiving an email “threat”.

Chorlton Brewing Company, which is based in Manchester in the UK, reacted to Nigel Farage having a milkshake thrown at him by tweeting, “Note to our customers: please don’t throw our beer over fascists. Hit them over the head with a brick as is traditional.”

Note to our customers: please don’t throw our beer over fascists. Hit them over the head with a brick as is traditional. 🙃✊🏽 https://t.co/yWPtHPQW2L

The tweet prompted a massive backlash but has not been deleted. The company then doubled down, proceeding to insult many of the respondents.

The owner, Mike Marcus, proceeded to argue that violence was acceptable in order to prevent “genocide”.

In a hilarious twist of irony, having endorsed violent attacks against people for having a different opinion, the company then whined about an email “threat” they received which simply stated, “You people are asking for trouble.”
